Chapter 44: Temptation

No matter how calm Yue Siliang looked on his face, he still couldn't change one thing, that is, the food of the 424 regiment had really gradually deteriorated in the past few days.

Although there seemed to be no change of mood among the soldiers, Yue Siliang, Di Hanming and others understood that such a situation could not last long. Therefore, it can also be said that Yue Siliang is here to give it a go, and let Di Hanming try to contact the Zhang family.

If it were according to Yue Siliang's cautious character in the past, it would be impossible for him to make such a decision casually.

……

In short, through the intermediary of the representatives of the villagers in the Baiyatai base area. The 424th Regiment established a communication channel with the Zhang family, and the Zhang family was more cautious when they first received the reply.

Both sides seemed hesitant, but the frequency of the temptation was quite fast. On the day of the 28th, it can be said that the villager representative was tired, and in just one day, he went back and forth twice in the outpost of the first battalion of Baiyatai and the Zhangjia compound. In the end, even the mille-feuille bottom under his feet was worn out alive.

Fortunately, the hard work of this villager representative was not in vain, and finally the Zhang family gave their attitude, and on the 29th, that is, tomorrow, a person will be sent to the station of the first battalion of Baiyatai to contact the cadres sent by Di Hanming!

At the same time, I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional, the day when the Zhang family came to the same day as the day agreed by Yue Siliang and Zhang Yi.

……

In the early morning of the 29th, Yue Siliang changed his clothes again, left Wuguliang with several soldiers of the guard platoon, and rushed in the direction of the county seat.

……

The group came to the Songhe Tower, and when they were about to step in, they found that there was an acquaintance standing at the door of the Songhe Tower, who was the servant Zhang Yi had brought with him before.

"Gentlemen, please come with me."

The servant's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw him that day, he quickly recognized Yue Siliang and the others, and immediately greeted them and stopped them from entering the Songhe Tower.

"What? Didn't Mr. Zhang and I agree that day on the Songhe Tower? Why did you suddenly change the location? ”

Yue Siliang did not follow the servant like this, but stood where he was and asked his own questions.

"Please also ask Mr. Gao for forgiveness, my husband said: Songhelou is full of people, and such an important matter is not suitable for discussion there. So early in the morning, I was told to stay at the door of the Songhe Tower, and wait for a few of you to take it to another place to discuss after you arrived. ”

The other party's argument doesn't sound very convincing, but there is no loophole to directly refute it. After making a brief eye contact with Lei Zi, Yue Siliang decided to trust this servant and went over with him to have a look, he wanted to see what this Zhang Yi was planning.

Following the servant, they did not go far. Not far from the Songhe Tower, the servant stopped at a small restaurant. Compared with the Songhe Tower, the storefront of this small restaurant looks much shabby, but it simply picks a pretense, and there is not even a serious plaque, and there are still these tall or short weeds growing in the cracks on the steps at the door.

"Brother Gao, don't blame, Songhe Tower is not a serious place to talk about things after all, although the environment here is poor, but fortunately, it is still quiet."

Entering this small restaurant with an unassuming appearance, Yue Siliang saw Zhang Yi in the corner.

As soon as he saw Yue Siliang's arrival, Zhang Yi first stood up and apologized to Yue Siliang.

Yue Siliang didn't say anything here, on the contrary, he agreed with Zhang Yi's idea, but he was more cautious in his heart, a businessman, or the young master of the rich family, was somewhat surprised that he could have this kind of heart.

"Brother Zhang, it can be seen that you are sincere, otherwise you would not have thought it out so thoroughly. I won't play dumb riddles with you, I need at least 500 stone of grain here now, and the price is all up to you, as long as the price you say is suitable, I will ask for it at that time, and I will never regret it. ”

Not as Zhang Yi imagined, Yue Siliang opened his mouth and didn't make any politeness, and after making sure that no one next to him was eavesdropping, Yue Siliang told Zhang Yi about his needs.

"Five Hundred Stone ......"

When Zhang Yi heard the numbers in Yue Siliang's mouth, his pupils instantly widened. After taking a deep look at Yue Siliang, Zhang Yi said meaningfully.

"Five hundred stones, Brother Gao, you really want a lot...... It seems that I didn't think it through, and it's really not the right time for you to come, senior brother......"

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, the corners of Yue Siliang's eyes jumped, and the two clear eyebrows twisted into a pimple. From what Zhang Yi said, he faintly felt that the other party might not be able to get the food he wanted. At this moment, Yue Siliang subconsciously wondered if this Zhang Yi was playing tricks on him.

"Why did Brother Zhang say this? Remember that night you and I had a great conversation, why do you talk like this today? The dignified Zhang family couldn't even take out five hundred stone of grain? Brother Zhang, isn't he playing tricks on me? ”

Hearing Yue Siliang's displeasure, Zhang Yi immediately waved his hand again and again.

"Brother Gao misunderstood, I am a businessman, how can I do such a thing? To tell you the truth, if it was a few days ago, Brother Gao, if you asked me for food, then I naturally didn't have a second word, but today I really can't do it.

I also found out last night. Last night, my family sent me a message telling me that I should no longer look for customers in the county town for some time, and that I had found a big customer in my home. The other party is no less than you in terms of food needs.

Although our Zhang family has some surplus grain, we can't just take out more than 1,000 stone of grain, and we also have to keep some surplus grain at home for emergencies. So...... If we can't do it this time, I ask your forgiveness......

Zhang Yi looked very sincere with a bitter face. But Yue Siliang's face suddenly turned cold, he has never been a good talker.

"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for your Zhang family to do this, right? If I remember correctly, we have already made up our minds on the 23rd of this month, and now you actually tell me that your Zhang family has found another customer. Is this a distrust of Gao? Afraid that Gao won't be able to come up with the money? I have traveled north and south in the mountains for so many years, and I boast that I have seen a lot, and it is really rare to buy three such things! ”

What Yue Siliang said was a half-truth, he didn't take it for granted that the "patron" in Zhang Yi's mouth must be the 424 regiment. If the Zhang family really played the 424 regiment and "Gao Shan" together, then they would really be empty. simply pretended to be a tantrum to scare this Zhang Yi.

"Oops......"

Zhang Yi was indeed frightened by Yue Siliang's sudden change in mood, and in a hurry, he almost knocked over the teacup on the table.

"Don't bother me, brother, this is really not my idea. And to put it bluntly, he is just a housekeeper in the family. There are some things I can't decide. If this grain is in my hands now, then I will naturally sell it to your brother without saying a word, but this grain is not in my hands, is it! ”

"Oh? According to Brother Zhang's words, then there is actually no food in your current grain store in the city? ”

Yue Siliang heard something else from Zhang Yi's words, and hurriedly opened his mouth and asked.

"Isn't it, it's different from Heng Ji, they have a granary in the county, but our Zhang family is not. I was only responsible for negotiating business with people in the county, and in the end, the real transaction had to be done in the county seat. ”

"That's the case, so I'm wrong to blame Brother Zhang."

Yue Siliang didn't say anything more about this, and the information he got from the other party was probably the same as their previous investigation. Thinking of this, Yue Siliang instantly changed the direction of a tentative one.

"Brother Zhang, then it seems that this business between us can't be done now?"

Zhang Yi didn't speak, but just gave Yue Siliang a helpless expression with an embarrassed face.

"Brother Zhang, I think your Zhang family needs to give me an explanation in this matter. We have already said that we have done it before, but now you have suddenly changed your mind. Isn't that a bit inappropriate? At the very least, can you let me know who cut off my beard? ”
